Yeah, I don't think so! The kids have been finding snakes in our yard lately. On Friday it was a snake like this but much smaller. They captured it and then school turned into researching "Snakes Native to NE" on the internet to find out what kind it was and what it eats. The little snake managed to escape the confines of a 5-gallon bucket. This much larger one, probably the little one's mother, was found on Saturday (the date is wrong on the pictures) by Caleb when he was picking up dog poop. It was quite entertaining to watch them all (from the safety of the back porch!). We have determined that these are bull snakes (or gopher snakes). They are often mistaken for rattlers and even have a little "rattle" when they feel threatened. (Like when Don hit him with the rake!) I have decided that I am no longer interested in going to the garden by myself!
